..........to watch.........., for me cricket is as boring as feck, too slow too many stops and starts could not watch it at all ! and that sport on the ice curling or something where youve got someone sliding a big weight along and a  couple of geezers with brooms ffs sweeping the ice in front of it  ! exiting that one ! but the one that takes the biscuit not sport i know but in the 60-70s they used to have chess matches on the telly ,2 russian geezers useually!  kasparov v  bollockov ect, sitting at a table taking about half a feckin hour to move a bishop or king or whatever ,feckin mindnumbing ! bet the suicide rate went up when that was on!.

this may be a bit of a critical one - but Rugby Union...cannot stand the sport and did not even watch when Englans was in the WC final and won....also premiership footie, watching adults throw themselves to floor pretending to be in agony / trying to get a fellow player sent off etc is just mind numbingly boring to say the least...now Championship footie is a different kettle of fish..Whoops

Golf is dire viewing but I can see the pleasure in playing it.

Watching it just makes me laugh though - it takes about 20 minutes to play one hole, with umpteen practice swings and a hushed crowd for every stroke. Imagine how good other sportsmen and women would be if they had so much time and serenity before actually doing what they are supposed to do.

There's a whole myriad of sh*t sports to watch. I've found that some improve markedly if you happen to give them a bit of time and understand them.

Going down the forum sidebar (this is for TV watching)...

Horse Racing - used to love it all, but I'm sick to death of flat handicaps - whose turn is it this week? Still like the maidens, conditions and listed and above stuff.

Football - Quite like watching European ties, playoff games, and those involving my team or competitive England internationals, often have it on in the background, and only actually pay attention when the crowd/commentator get excited. 2pm Sunday games perfect for post-prandial snooze.

Darts - Used to like the BBC's coverage. Don't like Sky's

Greyhounds - Boring as sh*te on the telly.

Cricket - Never liked one-day. Will watch England tests, quite like international Twenty20. I know that that sounds odd.

Rugby - Like Union (but used to play, so maybe not surprising). Has got a lot worse to watch with the advent of professionalism, and some boneheaded rule changes. League bores me to tears.

Tennis - Love it. Match is never lost until it's lost. Psychological and physical duel. Not as fun now that serve and volley has fallen out of favour.

Snooker - Slow, rarely exciting, but have a sneaking admiration for the players.

Basketball - Absolutely f*cking awful. Lots happening, but nothing of any interest or significance. Exacerbated by awful screeching of trainer soles on parquet.

Boxing - Nine out of ten fights are garbage, one out of ten is brilliant. Certainly not odds for which I'm prepared to shell out for pay per view.

Motor Sports - Varies wildly. Formula 1 is dull as ditchwater. Touring cars not bad. Oval track racing is better than a lot of people give it credit for. Can't be doing with rallying.
